Note
The y-to-ies spelling follows the usual rule for nouns ending in a consonant plus y. More useful is knowing which meanings take a plural. A hastily written account of events is normally plural already, so a writer leaves commentaries. The broadcast sense mostly stays uncountable: fans listen to commentary, and commentaries implies separate broadcasts. Books of explanation count freely, one commentary or many.
